Billed as “posh” and “formal,” this downtown Vancouver restaurant isn’t too fancy for a few pizzas on its menu. In fact, Mia notes that not one, but two, of the Ferrari of pizza ovens are at play in this place. The pizzas at Acquafarina, according to Mia, are “rustic, sturdy and nicely bubbled and charred.”

From the team behind the beloved Vancouver eateries Autostrada (Vancouver House and Main Street), this Yaletown restaurant serves up fresh salads, pastas and, of course, pizzas. For fans who keep things refreshingly straightforward (think: a margherita, pepperoni, mushroom and the like), Mia says the Capo pies are “sturdy enough for toppings without toppling” and feat a “flavourful crust with some char and a chewy crumb.”

With fresh pastas and pizzas, this restaurant “hits all the high marks,” Mia reports. Featuring double-zero flour or gluten-free pizza crust options, the “crust is almost Neapolitan but sturdier and with more chew.” The Margherita, Capricciosa and Porchetta with broccoli rabe and mozzarella are said to be top-selling toppings.

When The Vancouver Sun reached out to readers in 2018 in search of their favourite pizza places, Spacca Napoli was very near to the top of the list. The Port Moody pizza hotspot serves up pizzas straight out of Naples — but better. “I’ve had Neapolitan pizza at ground zero (in Naples), but I gotta say, I liked Spacca’s better,” Mia wrote. “The rustic crusts, nicely singed, have chew and great flavour.”
